Best Chinese Restaurants in São Paulo

Having lived in São Paulo for two years, I've witnessed the exciting expansion of authentic Chinese cuisine here. These are my top picks for when those hometown flavors call: 1️⃣ China Friends Restaurante 🔥 Solid Sichuan + Northeastern classics Must-orders: Spicy chicken, dry pot cauliflower, sweet & sour pork Why go? Consistent flavors, generous portions 2️⃣ TF Restaurante 🎩 Upscale Sichuan with private dining rooms Owned by former Chinese restaurant association president Star dishes: Kung Pao shrimp, mapo tofu, boiled fish Perfect for business dinners or celebrations 3️⃣ Jianghurenjia 🌶️ Sichuan meets Guizhou-level heat Don't miss: Seafood congee (deceptively simple, incredibly flavorful) Note: Spicier than average - ask for "menos picante" if needed 4️⃣ HUAFU 🐂 Hunan-style fire and flavor Can't skip: Stir-fried beef with chili, aromatic shrimp Skip: Boiled fish (fish quality inconsistent) 5️⃣ Xiang Man Yuan 🧋 Sichuan with bonus bubble tea Unique perk: Actually good milk tea alongside dan dan noodles Pro move: Order the tea with less sugar ("menos açúcar") #São Paulo#Chinese Restaurant#Xiang Man Yuan# Jianghurenjia#China Friends Restaurante#Brazil#food#travel guide
